On this day, many of the scholars who bought books from Moxiangju and returned regretted it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Song Si's scalpers were about to attack Moxiangju, they stood up and prepared to protect Ah Quan's dozen or so scholars, but each of them was presented with a complete set of the Twelve Classics by Ah Quan. That's a lot of money.

There are many people who are red-eyed, but there are even more people who regret it. If I had been able to stand up, the situation would have been different again.

There was once an opportunity to take advantage, but I didn't cherish it until I lost it, and I regretted it. If God gave me another chance to stand up, I would definitely say to those rangers: Who else?

However, just think about it, such a thing, I am afraid that there will never be a second time in Moxiangju.

But at the same time, the news came that made Shilin even more shocked. Mo Xiangju didn't reopen the door on this day, but he actually did the business in front of Guozixue.

Guozixue sold books at the invitation of Luo Yan at the invitation of Yao Silian and Kong Yingda, so with Luo Yan there, everything would be easy. The scholars have coveted Mo Xiangju's books for a long time, and now they can provide such an opportunity for their own people, how can they endure it.

Luo Yan miscalculated.

Three hundred sets is really nothing for Guozixue, which has 1,600 people. The students who study here have a monthly court offering and can save a few dollars privately. There are even some students who have a surplus at home, and a set of books is only this amount of money, but it is just a few meals for others.

Three hundred sets, but two hours, were sold out like this.

Luo Yan was dumbfounded.

Yao Silian and Kong Yingda were also dumbfounded.

The two of them didn't expect this book to be so popular, and before noon, the books were all gone. And Yao Silian is the most headache. Because at this time, many masters came to him again, and as for anything, it was not for the sake of books.

When it was sold before, these masters did not follow for the sake of face. I just looked through the books that the students bought, and I was surprised to find that this book is so good, exactly the same as the rumored ones.

However, the book was already sold out. As for going to the East Market to buy it, I don't know when it will be.

It's hard to talk to Luo Yan, after all, the friendship hasn't reached that point. So these masters found Yao Silian here. Anyway, you can get it once, and you can get it twice.

When Yao Silian smiled bitterly and said these masters' requests, Luo Yan smiled a little: "This time, I didn't think about it and set the number a little less." Well, I'll have another 500 sets delivered tomorrow. However, this time, I will borrow the place in front of the door so that other scholars can also buy books. ”

Guozixue is the signboard of official learning, and being able to occupy a place here for a few days for free to sell books is also beneficial to the future industry.

Yao Silian was overjoyed when he saw Luo Yan agree: "Okay, I'll let people tell those masters to go." You don't know, people tell me about this everywhere you go, and it really annoys me as an old man. ”

Although Yao Silian complained on his lips, he was beautiful in his heart. If the students of Guozixue can benefit, and the majority of scholars can benefit in the future, he will be very satisfied.

The next day, when the stall in front of Guozixue opened again, it immediately attracted many scholars around.

At this time, it was time to eat, and the students of Guozi School did not run to the cafeteria, and they were crowded in front of the door one by one, which was a rush. And the guys in charge of buying books kept shouting: "Don't rob everyone, don't worry, I'm waiting to bring a full 500 sets of books today." Not only can it satisfy the students of Guozi School, but also sell it to other scholars. ”

At this moment, the onlookers were excited.

Originally, I just planned to take a look, but I didn't expect that I would be able to sell it to my own people. For a while, many people began to squeeze in, 500 sets, I hope I can buy my favorite books.

Like the lively Moxiangju, the court is also as lively at this time.

After searching for many days, the source of this Moxiangju's book was not found at all. Therefore, the owner of a dry book printing workshop headed by Li Daoyan had to go to war with Luo Yan head-on.

In the splendid court, a minister of the Taiyuan royal family was talking: "The laws and regulations of the Wude period stipulate that all court officials are not allowed to compete with the people for profit. There are all kinds of indications that Moxiangju is the property of Chengguo Gong. Although he pretended to be a servant in his house, Cheng Guogong still couldn't get rid of suspicion. ”

After this person finished speaking, someone from the Deng family in Jiangnan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this Moxiangju has been open for less than half a month, and as far as Weichen knows, tens of thousands of dollars have been traded. What a huge profit this is, if it is not controlled, I am afraid that there will be some bad discussions among the people. ”

Li Shimin knew everything about movable type printing. Although I don't know how much it costs to print a book, I spent a full 140 million yuan in the early stage, and now the price of the book is at least 60% lower than that of other books. According to Li Shimin's speculation, Luo Yan is afraid that there is not much profit.

"Hmm." Li Shimin groaned.

But at this time, Li Daoyan and some people stood up and said: "Your Majesty, such a thing must be severely punished." And, if he found a way to bring down the cost of printing, why not make it public? Or you can leave it to the royal family. is so greedy for personal gain, but he can still be praised by Shilin and really sell his reputation. ”

When Li Daoyan said this, he was upright, as if he was the leader of the Shilin at this time and had the ability to make a decision.

But such a coy attitude, in the eyes of Li Shimin, is a little more hypocritical.

These people who just spoke, their secret industry Li Shimin knew clearly. It's just that the veil of mystery hasn't been torn off on the surface. Li Shimin didn't want to tear off the fig leaf like this.

But what these people said was as if they could do it themselves, but others couldn't. Although Li Shimin also very much wants to collect the profiteering industry such as book printing in his hands, Luo Yan may not be able to tell him his skills, and on the other hand, there are other noble and high-ranking officials involved in the interests, Li Shimin does not want to do things absolutely at all.

The interests of his two sons and Changle have already been fully realized. If the appearance is ugly, I'm afraid it won't end well.

Li Shimin finally made a decision.

"Since you say so, then, call Luo Yan to ask for clarification. What is going on in this matter, I only listen to you, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Li Shimin's answer made Director Li and the others panic.

Luo Yan's presence in the court and Luo Yan's absence in the court are completely different things. Many people have learned his sharp mouth ability, and he can completely reverse the situation by catching the opponent's slip of the tongue, which is what Luo Yan is best at.

They were empty-hearted, but Li Shimin had already sent someone to invite Luo Yan.

Neiwei arrived at Guozixue, and Luo Yan had not yet started lecturing. Hearing that it was Li Shimin's call, Luo Yan was stunned. For no reason, Li Shimin was looking for something for himself. Luo Yan set his sights on the inner guard. If he was sent, he must have known.

For the master in front of him, the internal guard didn't dare to slack off, knowing what Luo Yan wanted to ask, and he didn't hide it, so he told Luo Yan what happened in the court, and then begged: "Chengguo Gong, let's go faster." Your Majesty is still waiting. ”

After Luo Yan listened, he secretly sighed, why did these guys do it, he couldn't wait. Shouldn't this matter have been said a few days ago, Bai let himself be looking forward to it for so long.

Hurry up, it took three minutes to get to the court.

At this time, Li Shimin had already finished dealing with other matters with other courtiers, and when he saw Luo Yan coming in, Li Shimin said: "Luo Yan, some people say that you opened Moxiangju to compete with the people for profit, what's the matter, let's talk about it?" ”

No one would have thought that Li Shimin would be so direct.

Even Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, and some of the words he thought of along the way were in vain. No way, let's say it.

"Your Majesty, let's do this. I want to ask, who dares to slander Weichen like this. People who know the inside story are about to burst out laughing, Luo Yan is definitely talking nonsense with his eyes open. What is slander, this is the truth, okay?

Before Li Shimin could say anything, several people led by Li Daoyan began to reprimand him: "Luo Yan, don't deceive Your Majesty in the court. Do you think I don't know, the shopkeeper of Moxiangju used to be your personal servant. ”

After saying this, many people couldn't help laughing out loud anymore. Luo Yan has dealt with this kind of thing very little before, Li Daoyan is really giving people a handle this time.

Luo Yan also laughed, but after laughing, he said to Li Daoyan and the others very seriously: "Yes, Ah Quan used to be my personal servant. It's like the shopkeeper of Jixian Bookstore is the head of your family, Hanmoju is the brother-in-law of the head of the Deng family, and Sansi Pavilion is in charge of Song Gong's Shutong. ”

Li Daoyan was gagged in an instant.

It's no good for everyone to tear their faces apart. But Luo Yan has another explanation: "Even if this inheritance is mine, I would like to ask, how do I compete with the people?" With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Luo Yan asked very seriously.

"Is it a copy of the Analects that sells hundreds of texts, or is it a copy of the Spring and Autumn Period that sells a lot? I said that Moxiangju is still losing money, how can it be regarded as competing with the people for profit? ”

Li Daoyan was a little embarrassed, that's not what he said. However, he still has something to say: "Didn't Mo Xiangju personally admit that the cost of printing had dropped, and they were still making money." ”

"So you know about it." Luo Yan made a sudden realization, but admitted this fact from the side.

"Since the cost has been reduced, it should be taken out so that everyone knows about it. You have such a private collection, you just want to buy a name through this, which is really a shame for readers. The official of the Deng family lashed.

Luo Yan smiled, smiling brightly: "It's not impossible to take it out." It took me 20,000,000 yuan to develop this method. I gave twenty copies of this method, and gave me seven million pieces each, and I told him the method. ”

"Luo Yan, you are also a prince of the dynasty and a rookie in Shilin, it is really a shame to be so greedy for money."

"Shame on you, you don't count, just like that, I posted 60 million into it. Don't you be ashamed to wait, it just so happens that I have an idea in my heart to improve papermaking, and I need to invest 30,000,000 yuan, why don't you do it for me? Luo Yan sneered and looked at the officials who said him. (To be continued.) )
